Wouldn't it be funny if Claude stole Lois's gunrunning story, only to have Linda steal it and run off to the Congo and die instead of alt-Lois?
I think the way they tell it in canon, it seems that Lois went to the Congo there too, but there she came back. I always figure Clark had something to do with that, even if inadvertently.
Hmmm, they never actually say that Clark had not seen Lois before they meet at the planet. Hmmm.
